Commenting on the 2024 Trump-Biden debate, Montemagno criticises a television format that he believes rewards quips and clips instead of depth. He judges Biden's communication weak and Trump's more effective while challenging Trump's statements and promises. He proposes longer conversations, participation by experts from the candidates' teams and scrutiny of their claims, to assess competence and programmes beyond staged performance.
Key points
- Very short speaking slots can encourage slogans and hinder substantive discussion.
- The analysis distinguishes effectiveness on camera from the accuracy of claims.
- Montemagno calls for assessment of teams, evidence and consistency with earlier statements.
